#TurnBasedThursday? Again!?

Take a gander at Heist Mode in Pieces of the Kingdom, a Chesslike roguelite I've been working on. Did you play Chess and think it needed better factions and a more memorable story mode? Yeah, me too.

it's a bit like a fortunestreetlike but with elements of a chesslike and a cluelike

I've iced the cake, and the tree's all put up;
It's time to find out who's moving the Bishop.

...that's all I've got for Christmas lyrics today, sadly. But here's a sneak peek at a couple of the factions (with intros!) in Pieces of the Kingdom, my #indiedev chesslike roguelite!

Fair point. The chesslike quality is the whole appeal for a lot of people.

Adding some new zones to Pieces of the Kingdom, my chesslike #roguelike. There's a demo! With 20+ minutes of uncapped gameplay!

If you like #chess but wish it had a snarkier single-player campaign and/or more high fantasy factions, check it out: birdworks.io/l/potk #indiegames #indiedev

Starting off the new year with a new main screen and new name for a game - hopefully y'all like it! It was interesting reusing the game assets for this visual display. #solodev #gamedev #godot #mainmenu #pawnup #chesslike

Needed a way to see what the computer (black pieces) was thinking for moves so I added a debug highlight of all the moves it was evaluating #debug #chesslike #cards #gamedev

I cannot say chesslike roguelite 5x fast.

Still having fun with #cards and the different kinds of movement options they add - trying to make the interactions nice and responsive... #screenshotsaturday #godot #solodev #gamedev #chesslike

Little side project as i love #chess, and will use this as a prototype for a combat system in my #spaceSim

This is Chesslike, a #roguelike game where you can only see what your pieces see, and your king can die

The last faction in my #roguelite chesslike, Pieces of the Kingdom, is finally ready to go just in time for #turnbasedthursday. They're "viking"-inspired, and they don't play chess: they play #Hnefatafl! If you like #Chess but wish it had a snarkier campaign mode, check it out: birdworks.io/l/potk

Another example of moving tiles, this time rotating around two bands in the center of the board. #chesslike #notpoker #boardgames #solodev

making the game more similar to rugby is a mistake because football is intended to be chesslike. and taking away the big hits and big blocking then just makes it rugby. like. idk. i dont see many ways that this can be possible
